Welcome to 1922

(Channeling Rod Serling): Meet Martin Niemöller who had a crisis of conscience almost a century ago on another continent at another time. And who still foreshadowed the USA 2022.

No idea who he was or what he was talking part? You're probably not alone. Those who do not learn from history are fated to repeat it. Another argument for why, with some luck, we'll eliminate history from our schools unless it's restricted to studying the Bible. 

Elections have consequences. Maybe Trump was on to something when he wanted to use the January 6 2021 insurrection as the pretense for eliminating them. After all, history is written by the winners but pretty soon no one who might read it will understand it.
